Crockpot Bread Recipe

I haven’t been this excited to share a recipe in a long time — this Crockpot Bread is that good. It’s incredibly easy to make, deliciously addictive, and I’ve already made it twice this week (with no signs of stopping!).

The loaf comes out soft and fluffy on the inside, with a beautifully crusty top that makes each slice feel bakery-quality. It’s one of those game-changing recipes that feels almost too easy for how impressive it tastes — I can’t wait for you to try it!

I love how versatile slow cooker bread can be. Whether you’re trying this classic loaf, my Slow Cooker Whole Wheat Bread for a heartier option, or even going the tangy route with Sourdough Crockpot Bread, you’re going to be amazed by what your crockpot can do. And if you’re feeling extra adventurous, try your hand at Slow Cooker Bagels — yes, you can make bagels in a crockpot too!

How to Bake Bread in the Crockpot 

Pour warm water into a large bowl. Add sugar and mix until dissolved. Add dry yeast and stir. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy. I always find it helps to sit it in a warm spot.

Add salt to bowl and stir to dissolve. Add vegetable oil. Add flour and mix with hands until everything is combined. Knead the dough for 5 minutes and form into a round ball.

Place dough in olive oil coated bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Sit in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise, doubling in size.  Here’s a before and after so you can see how it rises.

Cut a piece of parchment paper that is the size of your slow cooker bottom and about 2 inches up the side.  It’s important that you go up the sides as your dough will expand (it’s turning into bread!) and you don’t want it to stick to the side of the slow cooker. Additionally, I like to spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.  Place your dough into slow cooker.  I like to sprinkle rosemary on top too.

Cook on HIGH for 2 hours. Remove from slow cooker and brush a little bit of butter on top.

From there you can serve as is, or if you like more of a crusty bread, you can broil the top of the bread.  To do this, slightly butter the top of the bread and stick it in your oven under the broiler (or toaster oven on broil) for about 1 minute.  Watch your bread like a hawk while you broil as it can burn very quickly.  Mine usually takes about 1 minute.   Now look at this crusty top!

I love not only how easy this 2 Hour Slow Cooker Bread but also how it tastes.  It’s soft, moist and delicious!

I’ve really fallen in love with this bread recipe and it will be a weekly staple in my kitchen.   This afternoon Matthew was making lasagna for dinner and requested that I make this bread to go along with it.   Whenever you need some fresh bread, don’t stress out and take hours making it, try this recipe! 

I hope you enjoy my Crockpot bread recipe!

By: Pamela Reed
Prep Time: 45 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours hours
serves 10

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • rosemary optional

Instructions

  • Pour warm water into a large bowl.  Add sugar and mix until dissolved.  Add dry yeast and stir.  Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.  I always find it helps to sit it in a warm spot.
  • Add salt to bowl and stir to dissolve.  Add vegetable oil.
  • Add flour and mix with hands until everything is combined.  Knead the dough for 5 minutes and form into a round ball.
  • Place dough in olive oil coated bowl and cover with plastic wrap.  Sit in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise, doubling in size.
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper and place in bottom of slow cooker.  Make sure the parchment paper comes up the bottom of the sides of the slow cooker so when the bread expands it won’t stick to the sides.  Additionally, I like to spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.
  • Place your dough into slow cooker.  Sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Cook on HIGH for 2 hours.
  • Remove from slow cooker and brush a little bit of butter on top.  Place under broiler for about 1 minute until slightly brown.  Keep a eye on it and make sure it does not burn!  Broiling is not a necessary step but I recommend it to get the top crispy!

    I have a regular crockpot, but I also have a 1 gallon crockpot. I’m going to try to cut this recipe in half and see if I can make it in the smaller crockpot. I don’t eat a lot of bread, so a smaller loaf would be fine.

    I was wondering if I could make this with almond flour? I am diabetic and I’m trying to make more low-carb recipes. Would the almond flour be substituted one for one with the other flour?

      Hey Nancy, I’ve never made this recipe with almond flour so I don’t feel comfortable telling you it’ll come out just as good! I am worried with 1:1 substitution it’ll come out dense and crumbly and nobody wants that! Please let me know if you try it!

    Does the crock pot make condensation?

      You shouldn’t see much condensation for this bread as it’s a quick recipe (in terms of crockpot recipes).

    Could you use Everything Bagel Seasoning in this? How would you add and how much? Many thanks, Linda

      I can’t speak for your choice of seasoning but I mixed lots of ground up rosemary in while kneeling the bread. Delicious, and became great sandwich bread. Good luck experimenting

    Hi! On 1/26/25 someone asked if olive oil could be used instead of vegetable oil. I looked through all of the comments and I did not see an answer. Can you use olive oil instead of vegetable oil? Thanks!

      Hi! Short answer, yes. Long answer, vegetable oil has a more neutral taste hence while it’s great for bread. Using olive oil will give it a distinct flavor since it has a stronger taste. Hope that helps!

      I mostly use a 6-quart slow cooker for this bread. Hope this helps.

    How much of the crockpot does this loaf take up? Could I double it in one crockpot?

    • Pamela Reed says

      January 13, 2025 at 9:19 am

      I don’t think it would be successful doubling it. If you have the time I would just make 2 of them.

    So good!! I halved the recipe because it’s just my husband and me. Otherwise I followed the directions as written and it turned out great, only once slice left! Because I had less dough the bread was done in about 1-1/2 hours (on high) instead of two. I will definitely be making this often!

    This recipe is great! I’ve made it 3 times now and it disappears so quickly in my house. I’ve added EBTB seasoning to it and its really good. Have you ever done any add-ins? Wondering how this would do as a cheesy jalapeno bread or other fun mix-ins?
